Quincy or peritonsillar abscess is usually treated by aspiration of pus and antibiotic. If you don't have any severe throat pain then you need not worry as persistent abscess will be extremely painful. You can get a ultrasound of neck to confirm the diagnosis
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
